Swordfishing
(Full Day)

$2500.00 USD

Starts at: 07:00 AM

Duration: 8 hours

Look to enjoy one of the hardest fighting, sought after trophy fish in the ocean.. Book a Swordfishing charter! Swordfishing takes place 30 miles offshore to the ledge for a chance at the catch of a lifetime. Using 2 rods, a tip rod and a buoy rod, most trips are done with electric reels due to the depths we fish (1400-2000 ft). The option to hand crank is always available at your request.

Swordfishing takes quite the patience as you may get multiple bites or just one bite all day. Once the bite shows up, its game on. On the run out to the ledge, you will also have a chance to catch other species depending on the time of year such as mahi or tunas. Even deep dropping for other bottom species if needed. If you are looking to chase a trophy fish, then swordfishing is for you!!

Incredible fishing experience that my friends and I will always remember. We caught a ton of grouper, snapper, and some of the biggest blackfins we’ve ever seen. Great day.

Booked a charter with Capt. Justin to the Gulf. The day was LONG, but the fish were biting which made it exciting. It ended up being a really fun day for all of us. Having the bean bags on board was honestly a life saver because we needed an afternoon power nap. I don't recommend bringing kids and I RECOMMEND BRINGING FOOD. It’s a long day and there’s no going back to shore until the charter is over.  If you love to fish, than this is for you.
